Bankruptcy

From Sheryl: Meet Me At the Library For Free Legal Clinic

You might have seen me on TV last week, if you’re in the viewing area of WBTW! I was thrilled to be able to present an informal lecture for the public on the topic of bankruptcy and the recent upheaval in the economic sector last week, and Thema Ponton from WBTW asked to interview me before the event on the subject. Seems everyone’s beginning to pay attention to the economy, as more and more politicians and media outlets begin to realize what the pulled-in-all-directions consumers have known for months: this is SERIOUS.

The seminar had an engaged, if light, turnout, and I was really impressed with the level of knowledge demonstrated by some of the questions asked. These legal clinics - which are completely free of charge, by the way - are designed to help the public understand critical areas of the law, and give them a better foundation in the subject so that they can better make their own legal choices.

If you’re in the Grand Strand area, or don’t mind driving there, I’ll be repeating the “performance” at the North Myrtle Beach library on 2nd Ave. North, just one stoplight north of Main Street, on Thursday, September 25, 2008, at 6:30 PM. The program lasts an hour and a half, and will include some time for a question & answer session, too. This one, like the last, is free of charge to the public, and it’s a great way to get some of your questions answered in person by a real live bankruptcy lawyer.

Fair warning, though: I’m pretty passionate about what I do, and have been told I get very “animated” when I get into certain topics, like restrictions on collection efforts for instance!
